4 more days!

Only 4 more days until the new leader of the country is chosen. Jeremy and I voted last night so we are set! I was watching Oprah this morning and she voted yesterday as well (I always knew we were close). Apparently, this was the first time she ever voted electronically...anyone else not voted electronically either? Vegas must be ahead of the times then...that's the only way I ever have voted.
Anyway, on our way home we checked our mail and had a STACK of fliers all on why we shouldn't vote for Dina Titus, or John McCain, Obama, Jon Porter, etc...and that's when it hit me...after Nov. 4th we will no longer have to listen to all the smear campaigns for everyone, no longer get annoying calls from the Democratic or Republican parties wanting to tell us how excited they are over in their offices and why we should come down and have a looksy, have Michelle Obama call on behalf of husband or Sarah Palin call to make sure we enjoyed our chat with a volunteer on their side... No longer will shows be canceled because of a 30 minute commercial all about the wonders that are Barack Obama, and maybe (just maybe) we can watch news that will be slightly more informative on other things that have been happening in the world instead of our own popularity contest. Although I have enjoyed watching SNL on Thursdays...good ol' skits about all the candidates.
Sorry for the tirade. But after Nov. 4th it will all be over...for another 2 years...didn't you know that was the trend now? Announcing your candidacy 2 years before the current presidency is up! Oh how I loathe politics. Happy voting!

Wooo hooo!

It has been a long time in coming but we have FINALLY! gotten our house to a clean level. Things are put away, kitchen sink is empty, couch is cleared off (mostly), laundry is almost done, bathrooms are clean (for now), beds are made, TVs are dusted, dining table is cleared off and looks marvelous! There are still a few areas which need to be reorganized and decluttered, but for the most part, our house looks good! :) Yay! I would post pics but can't find our camera. :)

Craft: Checkbook Holder.....Check!

Tada!! This one is a new craft that I saw over the weekend and did in under an hour! Wooo hooo!

St.Bernard....I Mean Camelback Mtn.

Jeremy will probably not speak to me when he reads this but I was going through our pictures today and weeding out things. (LOVE iPhoto) Anyway, I came across a picture of Camel Rock in NM and it made me remember when Jeremy, my mom and I were in AZ a few years ago visiting Mags. We were looking out the window and Jeremy was telling us all about Camelback Mountain...Mom and I were so confused and couldn't see what he was pointing at. This is what he was pointing at:

But we were looking for something that looked like this:
We decided that our camel rock looked more like a camel than his mountain so now (fondly) Camelback Moutain has been renamed St. Bernard Mountain...it looks just like a St. Bernard-don't you think?? :) Love you Jeremy!

And it starts...

I cant' believe I am posting this on here (don't you judge me all you perfect mothers!) but it has dawned on Jeremy and I that are little one is getting more mobile...like I mentioned in the 6 month post..Hunter is rolling and rolling and swirling in circles. 

Well, a few days ago I was working on the computer and Hunter fell asleep on our bed. No biggie. My grandma called and while I stepped into the bathroom to grab a tissue (stupid cold), I hear some grumblings. Hunter normally grumbles when he starts to wake up so I peeked around the corner of the door to check on him...Hunter is NO WHERE on the bed. Then I heard a LOUD scream/cry and rush to the other side of the bed. Lo and behold-there is my little red faced, screaming child ON THE FLOOR!!! My grandma hears him and says I can call her back (Thanks Grandma D). I did a few once overs and he is fine but I am still a little confused with how he pushed himself off the bed (in the middle of his nap, even)!  Hunter really is fine and from everyone I have told- it apparently happens to everyone. Sigh. It still doesn't help me feel better. :S

6 months today!

Today Hunter is 6 months old! I can't believe is so old already!! He is scooting around in circles and rolling all over!! He is sitting up on laps for minutes at a time (until he gets excited and throws himself back). Sitting on the floor is still a lil tricky for long periods of time (he slumps a tad to the right...). I dont know his current weight, etc. because we haven't had his 6 month checkup....stay tuned. :)
